 Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Salam sejahtera untuk kita semua. Welcome to Blue Carbon Summit 2018. Kita berikan kebok tangan untuk kita semua. Let's give a big applause for this event. And we would like to welcome specially to the President Indonesian Economy of Science, Professor Satrio Sumantri Brojonegoro. And we would like to welcome Director-General of the Center for International Forestry Research, Mr. Robert Nasi. Please welcome. And we would like to welcome Deputy Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Bapak Safri Burhanuddin. And we would like to welcome the Presentative Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries and Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning, and also National Library. Please welcome. And also we would like to welcome all academician and participant of this Carbon Summit 2018. This event will be in English, but some part will be in Bahasa. And we provide translation tools for you to help you to understand this discussion. And if you need this translation tools, you can take the tools in front of this auditorium room in a registration table. And ladies and gentlemen, to open this event, we would like to sing together Indonesian anthem. Please stand up. Thank you. You may be seated. Thank you. Our distinguished guest Indonesia has a whole lot of mangrove with very big carbon store that not even one protein can defeat it. It is a big potential, but in other hand, a whole lot of mangrove are destroyed every year. We need a long-term regulation to manage the potential. And this summit is a good start to give input, a good regulation to protect the potential of the carbon in Mordi Arso for organizer report. Peace well, Prof. Daniel. Fasten your seatbelt, please. We are jumping to the mat. Good morning, everyone. My name is Daniel Mordi Arso. I'm with both academia of sciences as well as with C4. So I have two bosses this morning sitting in front of me to tell you why we are here and what we've been doing so far and what we are expecting in the next two days and the way forward. So this summit is organized with the support of the ministry of coordinating ministry of maritime affairs. And this is a great pleasure to work with colleagues in ministry because we are aware that the coordinating ministry coordinate so many sectors in Indonesia, among others, fishery, shipping and transportation, mining, and many others, which are closely related to the blue carbon issues. So we are also pleased to work with Bapenas because we thought as organizer of this event the outcome, the deliverable of this process need to be mainstream in the national agenda. And Bapenas, we thought the right place to go so that we have collaboration with Bapenas and many stakeholders through the national planning. So with those support, we would like to nurture the knowledge and experience from you today and tomorrow and expect to have a lot of contribution from the audience, the participants, the speakers. We have 60 speakers speaking in the plenary sessions and also in the discussion forum. This discussion forum will be divided into eight discussion forum today and tomorrow. So some of the session will be held on the fourth floor. So we are very thankful to the National Library who provide these facilities, nice facilities for us to engage and run this meeting today. We will be moving up and down. Some of people will be going up to fourth floor. This is second floor. Some will go up to fourth floor. And for dinner tonight, we will go up to the rooftop on the 24th floor. And that's the only time we go up. But most of the session will be live stream so we would also like to greet our participants virtually. Today it is live stream and also most of the session in this room will be live stream. We think that this is the right time to work on this topic because a lot of critical mass already share their knowledge, already have result. So you want to sit together and see how this thing can be provided for the government to make a science based recommendation related to blue carbon. So only mangrove actually although it was mentioned that large amount of mangrove to see other aspect of blue carbon, mangrove certainly is the prime kind of mover if you are thinking about blue carbon and a lot of people have been working on this. Again, we would like to hear the report from those working on mangrove and how the result can be used for this recommendation. We also heard that and found that the destruction of mangrove is massive. The emission is equal to 40 million less of viewer cars on the road. That's about 200 million ton. So it's very important to think about mangrove alone as blue carbon or coastal blue carbon ecosystem. We at least understood about seagrass but we are glad today or tomorrow we will have at least seven people talking about seagrass so we will listen more about this very important ecosystem part of the blue carbon ecosystem to be exposed scientifically so that we have a better understanding about how mangrove and seagrass will have to be deal with those who do not know that Indonesia is very rich in coral reef. This is also very attractive for ecotourism very attractive for generating revenue through ecotourism. So ecotourism is another component that we can think about linking blue carbon in this sector. Fish industries is also very important for Indonesia and these things are very related to the health of the ocean. So blue carbon is not only looking at the issue of sequestering carbon but also the issue of adapting with the changing of the environment especially climate and it is affecting the fish industry as well. So as I mentioned earlier we thought the ministry of coordinating ministry of marine affairs is the right place to work with and fishery should flourish in the future as the health of the blue carbon ecosystem is maintained. We're looking at ecotourism is everywhere in Indonesia and also in the region and certainly maintaining blue carbon ecosystem will help. This kind of services not only carbon but other services that the ecosystem can provide will be flourishing in the future. So we have colleagues who share about ecotourism. So today we have ecotourism as well as tourism in general related to marine affairs to be exposed in the discussion forum. And suddenly diving industries is very famous for Indonesia but we also have problem related to ecotourism. Next please. How can we maintain the popularity of these places in Indonesia if we also produce so much rubbish like this? The numbers indicates to us that in 2050 the current production is half a billion per year. So in 2050 there will be more rubbish than fish in the ocean. I think the ministry is very much concerned about this and what we can do about it. So we hope that this summit can help providing information about this. Another aspect of blue carbon that are linked exactly to what we are talking today a number of papers sharing on issues related to shipping. Emission from shipment globally is about 2.3% and that is about 5-6 billion per year globally. Indonesia is promoting sea transportation and certainly this will be a big issues that we have to be aware of today and how this will be mainstream in the development agenda. Paper which are going to talk about carbon capture. Indonesia is flourish with the mining industry offshore but also emitting a lot of carbon. We'll be talking about how carbon emission from this activity will be captured and put it back to the ground. So that will be part of the blue carbon ecosystem that we need to hear about. So blue carbon is not only segras or coastal system it's a blue economy in general and we are open up and exposed to a bigger issue than just carbon but certainly carbon is our main issue that we need to tackle. And we are glad to have a lot of people contributing next. As I said, we will have 60 people speaking and 2 of them will be in the discussion forum. I was told that there are a number of people coming from abroad. Any of you coming from Europe? Some? Africa. Any African? Yes. I'm not sure if it is only on the registration but they follow online. Australia. I'm glad we have people from all over the world and Asia except Indonesia, maybe Myanmar or Thailand Yes. Singapore. So we are very much expecting that the thinking from this session will be mainstream also and related to the global agenda including the Paris Rim. And how Indonesia can link their development with a low carbon emission and Bapenas and many other line ministries including forestry, fishery and marine affair are very much concerned about this. And certainly blue carbon is closely related to SDG. Especially SDG 14 is closely related about today. And I also need to mention that SDG 17 is also important. You think it has nothing to do with fish or carbon but partnership is very important. So today we will be talking about partnership with other countries with other initiative and that will help us to see carbon or blue carbon issue globally as well. And lastly we have a lot of people in the academy thinking about mainstreaming biodiversity while we are talking about blue carbon. So the IG by diversity target is closely related to what we are talking today and tomorrow. So we will see how biodiversity part of the ecosystem services that we are going to discuss. So we have a full picture of national agenda as well as a global commitment that Indonesia is trying to meet in the next few years. 2030 is a kind of milestone where things will be delivered. So thank you very much. Thank you professor Daniel. And we would like to welcome Bapak Emile Salim that just join with us. Welcome Bapak. Thanks for opening remarks. We would like to welcome Professor Satrio Sumantri Brojo Nagoro from IP, President Indonesian Economic of Sciences. Please welcome. The Honorable Director General of Center for International for Research, C4. The Honorable Representative of Coordination Ministry of Maritime Affairs Professor Saffri Wadudin. Distinguist fellow distinguished speakers and participants, ladies and gentlemen of science is an independent institution established by law number 8 in 1990. There are five commissions including basic science on which this event is cultivated. IP strive to promote the excellence of science for well-being of the society. IP keeps pace with the global community and global agenda including sustainable development and climate change. IP gears towards providing knowledge for informed decisions to the government of Indonesia. IP is aware of the vital role of Indonesia's marine and coastal ecosystem. As the world's largest country, Indonesia has an extensive coastline that lays about 99,000 km according to Indonesian geospatial information agency. Along with the coastal ecosystem such as mangrove forest and cigarette smiddles. They hold a significant role to the effort to mitigate climate change while at the same time promise significant economic advantage through well-preserved fisheries and aquaculture. IP in partnership with the Center of International Forest Research or CIFOR, Organize Blue Carbon Summit for the next two days. It brings together various stakeholders in marine sector, environment and economy including experts high-level government officials non-govern organization donor community business actors media and like-minded community. The extensive discussion is expected to identify gaps hindering the mainstreaming of Blue Carbon international development agenda and global commitment and paved the way to visual direction of Blue Carbon development in Indonesia. It's also expected that today's dialogue would map out strategic direction to develop sustainable economic based on Indonesia's marine and maritime potentials. Environment and biodiversity issues have been a long-term concern of IP. We have to organize we have organized several scientific meetings including two seminar events that highlights Indonesia's mega-biodiversity especially in the Wallachia region that inspires the discovery of the theory of evolution and biogeography. IP with Indonesian Young Academy of Science put together a consensus report entitled Science of Indonesia Biodiversity expected to be launched on October 2018. It will explore the potential of Indonesia's Biodiversity to meet global commitment to mitigate climate change and to improve the likelihood of each people. Blue Carbon Summit is timely conducted emit increasing attention from national and international communities including Indonesia's ambition to capitalize its maritime potentials. Also the Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Ministry of National Development Planning have just organized a national conference to promote Indonesia's geoparks including Raja Ampat one of the world's marine biodiversity hotspot. To conclude my remark may we all have full discussion and may Allah God Almighty bless you all. Thank you. Professor Satrio Grigio-Negoro and next for opening remarks we would like to welcome Mr. Robert Nasi Director General C-Form Center for International Forestry Research. Please welcome. We are here and it's been difficult very nice meeting and very surprised to discover such a nice building Thank you for our science and a bit of an imbalance. If you look at a lot of the news in terms of carbon these days it's about the Amazon it's about the rainforest it's about deforestation but if you think 60% of the world population is living in the coastal area and this coastal area it's a little place that seems a bit forgotten so people are working on the ocean the blue economy they are talking about the green economy the environment the rainforest and what is happening in the coastal area seems a bit forgotten and I think it's a great time for us to bring that to the fore and in terms of this blue carbon mangrove salt marches seagrass all kind of system which is in fact both depending on the air what is happening upstream and what is happening in the ocean and that as I said was 60% of the world population and quite a lot of our large infrastructure cities like mangrove also having to adapt climate change and sea level rise so it's very important for us to protect but it's also very important for us to understand how this ecosystem works and how we can restore them because if we don't do that I mean sort of the latest paper that was produced they are forecasting something like by 2050 the sea level rise will cost the world economy $40 billion so it's too big for me zero represent $14 trillion but it's a significant amount of the world GDP and if we don't do anything about this coastal area about blue carbon about ecosystem this is going what is going to happen to us and even closer we expect that the whole internet will be totally disturb because a lot of the infrastructure that helps with the internet mainly the cable and the fabric well they are now theoretically below sea level and quite soon they will be under sea so if we don't do something we may also lose some part of the internet so just to remind everybody in this room the coastal ecosystem are fundamental for the survival of the spaces for a lot of ecosystem services for biodiversity and I think that we will have very good two days of discussion and I wish all the success and I hope that both the Indonesian government and other government will consider the recommendation of this conference in terms of policy and in terms of future decision thank you very much we would like to stay at the stage Mr. Nancy for opening ceremony and we would like to welcome Mr. Professor Satrio Sumantri Brojanogoro for opening ceremony by heating the gong how about to get all the side so ladies and gentlemen this is the opening for Blue Carbon Summit 2018 would you like to stay in the middle of this stage for taking a picture ya please joining Professor you can shake hand for a better style thank you and we would like to invite all the VIP members join to the stage for the memorize this event please welcome Professor Papa Sabri Silahkan Ibu Silahkan bergabung ke depan ini sebuah tanda sebuah tanda bahwa kerja sama dilakukan oleh berbagai instasi untuk masa depan management carbon di Indonesia okay let's begin for the future of Blue Carbon Development in Indonesia ya can you give a style please like this for the future of Blue Carbon Indonesia or just like this ya menunjukkan semangat Bapak Ibu Silahkan ya 3 2 1 for the future of Blue Carbon Development in Indonesia, thank you so much please visit it our distinguished guest this is the closing of the our opening ceremony of Blue Carbon Summit 2018 and we would like to welcome to all VIP members join to the fourth floor to see Blue Carbon Management Expo that will be continue with the press conference and to all participants we would like to invite for enjoy coffee break in front of this auditorium and we will join in this auditorium again for the next session it's in the 1030 thank you so much and see you, enjoy
